Hello Mark, New skins can be added via the "Admin Panel -> Create New Skin". From there you can import a skin (we have a couple available or you can import one from elsewhere) or you can create a new skin from scratch. Creating a skin is very much like modifying a skin - you just enter the colours and images to use. - Ross

Mark you would go to the page titled "XML Download" and view source & copy/paste.

Posted By Michael on 20th Jun 10 at 9:53pm Mark you would go to the page titled "XML Download" and view source & copy/paste. Just to clarify, the XML code you copy would be pasted into the "Import Skin" section of your admin panel.

Also I have imported this skin : http://support.virtualforums.co.uk/board/premadeskins/topic/13006/action/view_topic/slipwrblu#reply-13 how sexy does that look but where is says Mini Profile Template: http://skins.vforums.co.uk/slip/mini-profile.phps http://skins.vforums.co.uk/slip/guest-mini-profile.phps Info Center Template: http://skins.vforums.co.uk/slip/info-center.phps What do them links do? I don't understand where I am supposed to put them :/ and also how do I change the Virtual Forum reloaded to say something else?

Sorry Mark, been overran with work recently. The last 3 links you want to go to "Manage Templates" and create a new template for each - or you can modify the one already there. The miniprofile ones is in two parts - one file is the member one, the other the guest. They both get added into one template! Use the "Forum Settings" page - there is an option to set the Ad Location Change that to "Above Welcome Table"
